New publication to support Scottish literature
The Scottish Arts Council has launched a new literary magazine aimed at promoting Scottish literature domestically and internationally. The new magazine, Scottish Review of Books, is published by Argyll and Birlinn Publishing and will include articles from leading literary commentators, reviews of recently published books as well as six new poems from Scotland’s Poet Laureate, Edwin Morgan. ‘Our aim with the new publication is to get people talking about issues surrounding Scottish literature and to challenge people’s perceptions about particular subjects,’ says Editor Alan Taylor. ‘At a time when Edinburgh has been recognised by UNESCO as the first World City of Literature and when Scotland’s writers are receiving both critical and popular acclaim, a magazine such as this is a timely and much needed addition to the literature landscape in Scotland.’ The magazine is being distributed in Scotland’s Sunday Herald and will also be available in schools, museums and libraries across the country.
